Pub tour in Rotenburg canceled: rising costs and little choice!

Pub tour in Rotenburg canceled: rising costs and little choice!

A painful loss for Rotenburg culture: This year the traditional pub tour in Rotenburg is canceled for various reasons. The decision is made on the shoulders of the organizers Tobias Speckhaus and Hannah Peter, who had to decide with this step with a heavy heart. The background is the long-lasting aftermath of corona pandemic, which still have an impact on gastronomy. Many companies fight with a lack of staff and rising costs, which basically make it impossible to carry out such a popular series of events. According to hna Locations are not sufficient for a full -length pub.

In the past, the pub tour attracted up to 1000 visitors and is considered a cultural heart of Rotenburg. The tour offered a platform for regional artists and thus represented an important element for social cohesion in the city. A varied musical program from rock classics and current chart hits were part of the offer. But the financial aspects also play a role: the entrance fee of twelve euros per person and the associated GEMA fees are not portable under the given conditions.

a look back and forward

The last pub tour took place in 2019. Before that, the event was regularly part of the Rotenburg event calendar before it had to be paused. Conny Haag-Lorenz, who has organized the tour for over a decade, now hands over the responsibility to a new organization team. The basic idea of ​​integrating all interested pubs and creating a wide musical offer remains in the focus.

The new organization team consists of experienced members: Gina Dahmen, known as Miss Glitzer and event clerk, Tobias Speckhaus, who has already carried out many local events, Nina Siemon, a marketing specialist, and Hannah Peter, who is a big fan of the pub tour. Together they would like to build on the successes of the past. According to Osthessen News there was already a call to the organization, which found a positive echo and shows the commitment of the Rotenburger.

The challenge

Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether the new team can use the event to be canceled as an opportunity this year to revive it in the coming year. The team has already announced that they are looking for support in the form of bands and musicians of all genres. Interested parties can contact Gina Dahmen on 0178 8161852.

Although the current cancellation means a bitter message for many, the hope that the Rotenburg pub tour will return in the near future and continue the cultural tradition.
